Dahl’s Boy‚ a book report. (written in a english test in Norway) I read "Boy" by Roald Dahl. It was first published in 1984‚ and includes different stories and experiences from the author Roald Dahl’s childhood‚ and some of them gave him inspiration to write books. When he went to Repton he got a free box of chocolate from a chocolate factory‚ if he would grade the different bites. If it had not been for this‚ we never would have heard about "Charlie and the chocolate factory". The book is divided

Hidden Discrimination The children’s perspective in To Kill a Mockingbird and The Boy in Striped Pajamas reflect a tone of innocence and ignorance about the mayor problems in their small communities‚ but due to the conflicts in their societies they change their perspectives and become conscious of the existing problems.

Anyone reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has most likely heard of the horrors of the Holocaust. Eleven million people were killed during this terrible time in our history; six million of them were Jewish. This book shows the Holocaust from a perspective of two young boys ignorant of what is happening around them. The friendship between Bruno and Shumel breaks down the walls created by race and religion at a time when that seemed impossible. Despite the obvious differences of race and religion
